"Just a public cover-up. The fight is deeper than that. It comes deep down from the heart. President Zuma can never forgive President Ramaphosa."

"More than 350 people died in July 2021 simply because they took the differences between this duo seriously."

"Personal they are not fighting guys..they are just fighting for power and wealth that's all..if Zuma or any of his people win and then he gains access to power he will leave Ramaphosa alone or even invite him for tea."

"These people they're brothers in politics play tricks together no war here, just chiefs and pirates playing one loose but after 90+4 minutes they are together boozing."
